I am in the process of planning my first computer build, as my current computer's performance is rapidly declining. As a noob builder, my question is relatively simple: what components will contribute most to performance in 25m raiding? I'd also like to run FRAPS in the future. I keep reading that WoW is processor intensive, should I spring for a higher end CPU and scale back on the GPU? Should I aim for a certain number of CPU cores? What about RAM?
I'm looking at ~$1500 budget or so, not counting a monitor, if you have specific parts you'd recommend.
Thank you in advance! ^.^
